This controlled clinical trial aims to compare the effects of an online program that includes exercise guided by the FITT-VP principle and dietary advice, conducted by fitness coaches, in children and adolescents with obesity with a control group that will be enrolled in conventional in-clinic nutrition and exercise advice. All participants will be monitored for 8 months during the active intervention, and followed by 16 months of observation. The study will evaluate the following parameters between groups: BMI, anthropometry, blood biochemistry panel (ALT/AST, lipids, uric acid, HOMA-IR, HbA1c), food frequency questionaire, household survey, satisfaction survey, and adverse events.
The naturally occurring hormone LEAP2 is proposed to have opposite effects to that of the 'hunger hormone' ghrelin. Other that appetite regulation, LEAP2 is involved in glucose metabolism through mechanisms yet not fully understood. With two experimental days; one recieving LEAP2 and one recieving placebo infusion in a randomized order, the study will explore the effect of LEAP2 (vs. placebo) on glucose metabolism through total-body PET/CT-scans and thereby gain a deeper understanding of the ghrelin/LEAP2 system and its interaction with glucose metabolism. Furthermore, the project will generate scanning references in individuals with obesity that are usable in forthcoming research projects.
The main purpose of this study is to learn more about the Tolerability of RAY1225 in participants with Obesity. The study will also explore the efficacy of RAY1225. The study will last about six months for each participant.
This study is a pilot open label crossover trial to assess the feasibility and acceptability of reducing ultra- processed foods (UPF) in a personalized manner from the diets of patients with major depressive disorder who eat a large percentage of UPF.
This is a First in Human study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of DA-1726 following single and multiple doses in participants with obesity, but otherwise healthy subjects.
This study will evaluate a new form of non-invasive deep brain therapy for food addiction. Low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation will first be delivered using a range of stimulation parameters during psychophysical and physiological monitoring. A well-tolerated stimulation protocol will be selected for subsequent testing in a blinded randomized sham-controlled trial. The trial will evaluate brain target engagement using magnetic resonance imaging, Food Cravings Questionnaire-State, and changes in subject's weight over the course of the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of RM-718 in healthy subjects with obesity and in patients with hypothalamic obesity (HO).
TITLE: Whole genetic approach in Early Genetic Identification of Obesity (WEGIO) DESIGN: Multicenter epidemiological study STUDY POPULATION: Participants at risk for a syndromic or a monogenic genetic obesity, incl. participants clinically diagnosed with Bardet-Biedl-Syndrome (BBS) NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: 1000 for initial genetic sequencing and app. 40 for the follow-up documentation COORDINATING INVESTIGATOR: Prof. Dr. Arndt Rolfs
Obesity is a life-threatening disease, defined by excessive fat accumulation that increases the risk of other diseases such as cardiovascular events, hypertension, diabetes and cancer. Obesity is also a risk factor for nosocomial infections and is associated with worse COVID-19 outcomes, although anthropometric measurements are not routinely recorded during hospitalization and lack of a registry data does not allow performing retrospective studies.Obesity is closely related to chronodisruption, characterized by deregulation of physiological and behavioral central and peripheral circadian rhythms contributing to the obesity-related metabolic impairment. Eating and sleeping time schedules are relevant synchronizers of humans' biological clock. Several studies suggest a role of dietary interventions in rewiring the circadian rhythm, with Mediterranean diet (MD) regulating nutritional patterns. Moreover, considering its positive impact on sleep quality, melatonin intake was suggested as a potential regulator of circadian rhythms. The relation between chronodisruption, obesity and infections has not been investigated, and a first proof of concept (Pilot study) will aim at investigating it. Three cohorts of obese patients with different aetiology (essential obesity, obesity with type 2 diabetes, genetic forms of obesity) and a cohort of lipodystrophic patients will be enrolled in the study, which is designed as a two-phases protocol. During the first phase (0-12 weeks (w)) patients will be subjected to dietary intervention with hypocaloric MD; in a second phase (12-24w), melatonin 1mg/die before sleep will be added to the hypocaloric MD. The susceptibility to infections will be investigated through the evaluation of 1) the number of events - i.e. flu- or flulike syndromes, skin, respiratory, digestive, urinary infections-per patient of the 4 groups and the blood assays to detect the infection with Epstein-Barr, Cytomegalovirus, Varicella, Measles and SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM; hepatitis C and hepatitis B core antibodies and Quantiferon TB Gold, 2) the clock genes rhythm and TLRs expression in patient immune cells at baseline, 12w and 24w.The mutual relationship between biomedical values, environmental and social conditions, and lifestyle habits will be evaluated by structured questionnaires. Validation of questionnaires to explore the susceptibility to infections is another delivery planned for the current study.
